New Project - Mechanical Computer

I have decided to attempt the construction of the worlds fastest, most powerful and most compact K'nex computer which will be capable of performing simple mathematical operations through mechanical parts alone. This is by far my most intricate project so construction is progressing slowly to say the least. Regular updates are posted on my blog: [link]

Hey Auston, I was wanting to join the film community here on dA, but you have to be approved, I was wondering, since you are in the film community, how did you get in?

:iconaustron:
Yes, I have been approved, hence all my k'nex videos. I was approved by sending DA staff links to some of my stop motion/time lapse videos on my youtube account in the form to apply for the film community. They need some example of your previous work to admit you.

do you think that is good enough to get me in?

:iconaustron:
It should be, I mean, the videos I sent them were some of my very early, very poor quality stop motion animations that didn't even make it onto DA, showing that they have low standards. And the music is original, that's always a plus :P

If that doesn't get you in, just make a black and white movie of a lawn chair and it's shadow and call it art. Black and white pictures and videos of shadows and still life are always considered to be art for some reason... lol

If you plan to submit that video here, I recommend you halve the length and make a midi version of the song.
